I can’t post anything, I can’t repair anything. I don’t even know how to keep going on. Please make it stop. I can’t even know how to post on my own website. The issue is I don’t know how to use Gutenburg and it’s not user understandable. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/760c339c1c0cc837a5b8a9f6220f62b48154f571d57485242dfdcf0fa5c4d5a2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No Gutenberg support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-gutenberg-support-2/)󠁿 [sumoboy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sumoboy/) February 24, 2020 Won’t analyze content in Gutenberg, pretty much worthless until updated. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bdbbc4b9708705673bb1c340c592bee301efac9ad3d905de807370c43d07a6b0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple but efficient](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-but-efficient-12/)󠁿 [ezio80](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ezio80/) July 13, 2018 Few options but very well developed.
